Curvilinear Polygons |
Top Previous Next |
The Arc drawing tool lets you make curvilinear polygons for which you can assign fill properties and find areas. There are some limitations, however. Since you can't construct point on two intersecting curves (except for circles), you have to connect curves with line segments. If you want to connect two arcs, you have to first connect them with a line and move it to the intersection like this: ![]() To make a curvilinear polygon of the intersecting parabolas here are the steps:
![]() ![]()
It's easier with circles because you can place points on their intersections: ![]()
